The golden age of tv died in 1986 when they cancelled Hardcastle and McCormick
It’s all dead really.
They’re remaking Roadhouse, which is absolutely ridiculous.
They might be making a 3rd Top Gun as if the second one wasn’t bad enough.
How many Fast & Furious’s are they gonna make?
They all went on strike and no one cared. No one paid attention.
And to think, bozo Kemp and the corrupt Ga legislature gives these POSs $1,500,000,000 a year in tax breaks
Probably not. But I have plenty of content to stream once I’m in retirement.
I’m completely confused.
I’ve often heard the Golden Age of Television was the 50s and early 60s, featuring sitcoms such as I Love Lucy ,Father Knows Best ,The Donna Reed Show , and serious dramatic shows such as Playhouse 90 and the Kraft television theater.
Was there a second golden age when cable channels such as HBO started coming out with original programming?
If only the writers had pressed on to High School......
It’s been dead for a while.
The golden age of tv died in 1977 when they cancelled Sanford and Son…….
It is now Soviet Union television.
There are only limited approved narratives and themes. The focus is on having more than a representative number of minority and women actors. White males are only eligible for dumb and/or evil roles.
If you keep in mind that ‘The Sopranos’ was on HBO, a pay tv service, then yes, there are a lot of good shows available on streaming platforms.
Wisting
Hidden
Shetland
The Chestnut Man
Broadchurch
Line Of Duty
On PBS, Downton Abbey was good, and All Creatures Great And Small is a fine show.
“Print is dead. Movies are dead. TV is dead.” Drudge Manifesto, year 2000, page 113. Matt predicted it, since he saw how the internet would take over all programming.
TV’s Golden Age died long before his mob show ever aired.
I don’t watch a single current TV show. They are all pop culture disasters.
The 1950s are long behind us.
I am not at all certain that TV ever had a “”Golden Age.” In 1961 FCC Chairman Newton Minow declared TV to be “a vast wasteland.” I have seen nothing to convince me he was wrong.
Netflix there are a couple series I want to watch and it is set to cancel. At any rate, they have an abundance of foreign series. I know Netflix available world wide. And the children’s banner is rainbow. Again with this crap. I know someone w
remember, he wanted to do a prequel to the Sopranos, but it went nowhere. Mainly because they just HAD to put in blacks, and not only that, I am sure they put them on equal footing as the Italians in the story, even though there was never a black mafia that could get out of their own way in the entirety of human history. (I never saw The Many Saints of Newark) And I bet every period piece nowadays set in pre-1990s had to show how racist the society was, as well. It gets to the point where it's not worth doing anything with the restrictions/quotas.
Nope. There's no racial diversity in a show about Italian-American mobsters.
After the Summer of Mostly Peaceful Protests, Hollywood adopted very rigid rules about racial representation. It's very difficult to get a TV show or movie green-lit without a diverse cast.
I recently watched the full series of the Sopranos for the first time in a couple of decades.
For those who have not seen it I am not going to give away any spoilers.
That said—imho the ending was stunning and brilliant—nothing like it before or since—went way over the head of most of the audience—on multiple levels.
The Sopranos is multi-layered and stunningly complex once you get into the details of it.
There are double meanings to just about everything—hilarious inside jokes—really rewards close concentration.
It was a true work of art.
I would also add that to understand it you need to have a complete understanding of the Godfather movies—many of the scenes are homages to those movies.
My four sisters told me I have to watch Yellowstone. A friend did as well
My sisters don’t talk to each other much
So I tried, First then latest
MIT was then worst piece of crap I can remember enduring. Pornography. Hateful immoral characters. No heroes
I don’t think anything else is any good.
We watch reruns of sitcoms over and over. Brooklyn 99 only the early ones
Frasier
Parks and recs
The nanny
The old magnum
The Brits have good programming, all creatures. Why didn’t they ask evans. David suchets Poirot
Blue bloods I watch bc I’m Irish New York and grew up in a big ass house on the water like they have. We were fdny and finance ppl mostly but it’s very familiar
Tge early seasons were great. Some all time greats
They should have brought good recurring extended characters and they should never ever have let Jennifer Esposito go.
